Story & Message:

Macrocosm. Exploring our inside universe can bring us a profound sense of comfort, familiarity and safeness. Yet when taken to the extreme, it can also become a form of mental reclusion. While exploring our inner self, it is equally important to be aware that we are part of something bigger. The outside world can and always is extremely challenging, but beautiful at the same time. Opening up to the universe around us makes us grow. And isn’t it what this life is all about - constant growth?

From my project “The Dark Days of the Soul”

"The Dark Days of the Soul" is inspired by the darkness of Finnish winter and the limited ability to physically change places due to the situation in the world. In times like that new opportunities to travel arise. It’s a different kind of travel though, it’s a journey within.

Each work covers a particular state of mind that I translate into a visual form. Some of them are truly dark, some are bright, but this is how the duality of life works: we wouldn’t be able to see light without the darkness.
